Summary

Is free speech in danger? Arizona State University professor, Dr. Owen Anderson, returns to share an update on his ongoing litigation with the university and to unpack how censorship on U.S. soil threatens the First Amendment and our ability to preach and live the gospel. Frank and Owen dive into how the radical left uses emotional blackmail and fear tactics to silence opposition—and how you can recognize and push back against cancel culture. During their conversation, they'll tackle questions like:* What's the state of free speech in Germany?* Is hate speech protected by the First Amendment?* What was the purpose of the First Amendment and why should we fight to protect it?* Are we putting people in physical harm if we disagree with them?* Can you stop fascism with fascism?* Did Jesus ever insult anyone—and is it ever wise for Christians to do the same?Later in the episode, Frank and Owen will comment on Vice President J.D. Vance's recent rebuke of European leaders, highlighting the fragile state of democracy and free speech abroad. They’ll also address ASU’s protests against Mary Rice Hasson for her stand against gender ideology and explore how the radical left weaponizes terms like "emotional abuse" to cancel critics. If you're concerned about preserving your right to speak freely, this eye-opening conversation is a must-listen!Resources mentioned during the episode:Owen’s Website: https://drowenanderson.com/ (https://drowenanderson.com/)Owen’s Substack: https://drowenanderson.substack.com/ (https://drowenanderson.substack.com/)Free Speech for Me But Not For Thee: https://bit.ly/4b9BB4k (https://bit.ly/4b9BB4k)When Jesus Insulted People: A Comprehensive List - https://bit.ly/41eLolc (https://bit.ly/41eLolc)
